WINNT directory - that's it, just that one.

I did this:-
- BIOS (8.1) while I was still running Win'98
- create initial 8GB partition in L110 from DOS boot floppy
- CD to HDD copy (in a desktop)
- Win'2K install
- create partitions beyond 8GB *
- Win'2K service packs
- IE6
- everything that Windows Update detected I needed

* including reserving the "hardware (BIOS) hibernate" space
I'm not using any disk/overlay managers or anything like that.

> What is the recommended BIOS level for Win2K on a 110?

8.1 compulsory, mandatory, nothing else will do; do it before anything else
(ie do it on your existing setup)
